Sister Judith Ann Criner

Benedictine life has changed since I first entered the Community. I think the Community is much stronger now and committed to the Rule of St. Benedict and the Gospel. We know we are responsible to each other and for each other on this journey. We are more open to one another, more open to the world and more open to inviting others to join us in our pilgrimage of faith.  

I am passionate about helping others through prayer, through work, through any means I have. Family and friends, a deepening faith life in good times and bad times have enabled me to become the person I am. There is one thing that always gives me hope: the ability to start over when one has failed. To walk the journey with others who will be there when I need assistance and who will accept my help along the way. It is comforting to know that another walks beside you on the journey.
